Hey dude 🤙 yeah, sure, clip what you like 😊

I agree, a kickstarter on one of these would be awesome! Not sure how easy it would be to kick over a parallel twin though? 😬

@@lewsdirtbikedays rd500 are 4 cylinders and have a kickstart.

@@torso99 aaaaah 2 stroke though isn't it the RD.

@@lewsdirtbikedays my father had one

@@torso99 lucky guy! What a machine. Would love to pilot one of those some day, bet the noise is immense! All them power valves wide open, on pipe 🤤

Nice one Andy 🤙 yeah that river Vernwy gets my bum twitching, horrible it is! You know, I was convinced atleast someone would come through the woods there, it's a popular route, it wasn't too late and the weather was bang on... Didn't see or hear 1 single person 🤦🏼‍♂️ sods law hey haha. Hey, where that cheat lane through the woods mate? I dropped in and went to the right but I think it's on the left of the main line? That right?

Hi Winnie. I'm currently on a long break from all other media platforms, the only way of contact is through email. Old school 😉 If you'd like to contact me my email is: lewi.leggy@googlemail.com Cheers.

Well by that metric, you can't Adventure here in the UK, then. I'm not sure where you are in the world, but here in the UK, we have strict laws about where we can and cannot go on our motorbikes and which roads/trails we can use. If we didn't use a GPS we could end up riding down public footpaths or private land and have no clue. The notion that you have to ride without a map or GPS to have an adventure is a load of rubbish , it's just plain silly 🤷 Thanks for watching 🙏

@@lewsdirtbikedays I remember my first gps adventure lol

Hey, thanks, dude 🤙 it didn't end how I would have liked, but there you go 🤷 haha. To be fair, what you've seen on the video here is only half of the route I had planned, there's plenty left on this one still to do. Cracking day out though, just don't do it on your own 😆 be happy to guide you around if you're ever in the area, give me a shout 🤘

@@lewsdirtbikedays finish was a bit unfortunate but you got home at the end. I mostly ride alone as most of my free days are weekdays so that kind of limits my options. I will give you shout once am set to head your way 👍🏻

Hi Mark, thanks alot for watching and taking the time to Comment, I appreciate you 🙏 and pleased to have you join us, I'm greateful for every subscriber. Please check out my other mis-adventures 😂 you've plenty to choose from.

Thanks Skuli 🙏 glad you enjoyed it. Please check out the videos of our other mis-adventures 🤙

@@lewsdirtbikedays I will, for sure. All in good time.

Nice one Ian 🙏 glad you enjoyed it mate. We just approach it with absolute Britishness and craic on, can let a bit of wet completely spoil your day out. Was a bit grimm at time but in all was a great day. I'll be back in the summer to take in the views that we missed.

😊 Ah thanks very much, dude. Yeah we have a blast! Glad it comes across in the videos too. Thanks for watching 🙏

Hey man, thanks for watching. These aren't even close to some of the wildest trails we've done, you wanna go checkout my other videos, we've been some insane places. Yeah I got home fine, thanks, just as it was going dark 🤞

@@lewsdirtbikedays I will definitely be watching more of your videos, you got a new fan haha 🤘

Hi mate. The lane is called 'Happy Valley' in our circles. If you go to my video titled "this day nearly broke me" in the video description, I've out a link to my outdooractive account where you can take the route from for yourself. The motorway isn't on the rout I have linked though so you're safe there 😂 Happy Valley starts just past Tynllwyn caravan and camping park in Bryncrug and the trail in video directuon goes south east and ends in Cwrt just outside of Machynlleth. You can see the trail on Google maps going through the valley. 👍 Good luck and god speed 😆

I'd have a 500 myself probably if I had a van to put it in, but i don't so I have the T7. Not ideal in some situations I agree, but it's all part of the fun I guess, all experiences, hey.

I know mate, there nothing more to it than simply forgetting to turn the ignition off when I jumped off. The video can be analysed as a number of small errors culminating in one big mess, but it was just one simple error. Yeah I tried everything to get the bike out and/or get it going again. The bikes too heavy and ground was too soft to do anything with it. I think people assumed I just jumped off and gave up straight away 😆 all of my videos show I don't give up easily, and this situation was no different. Thanks for watching anyways 🙏

Thanks for the lecture grandad 😆

Cheers mate. Yeah it's a fantastic route. Scenery is pretty epic, and the trails are spot on!

I was thinking exactly that before! Pretty rare situation to find yourself in, this thought ain't it let's be honest?! Would be cool though.

😆 Get to fuck, you tried pushing one of these uphill through piles of soft pines? Of course I tried to get it out...

Yup, that'll do it 😆

Thank you for the compliment, good sir 🫡

🙏 Thanks Eddie, was all fine in the end. Was home just before dark.

🤣 Like a comedy sketch hahaha. Obstacles like that spring on you so fast on these types of trails, there's no time to react.. Squint your eyes, grit your teeth and wait for the thump haha. I'm thinking about getting a fold out silky and putting it in me bag.

@@lewsdirtbikedays is that one of the plastic handled saws? I actually carry on now after having to chop a bloody tree with a fixed blade knife and a stick a year ago. What a ball ache that was.

@@dynamotightstar3472 that's it mate yeah, a aggresive serrated curved blade about 7-8 inches long, can literally cut down trees with them. Had to go full bear grylls mate yeah? 😂 Bet that took forever?!

In hindsight, yeah I agree, not a big deal. In the moment, it was a big deal to me for sure... This forest is pretty remote, I want sure if the fire roads were accessible from outside the forest, how far away the Mrs would end up.. Was getting dark, weather was changing fast, no food, no drink, no phone, no light, can't go anywhere... Feels quite heavy when it's you stuck 😆 luckily it all worked out, but there was a good chance I was roughing it in them woods with the badgers 🤣

It was more the cable I was using to charge it with to be fair, even using this cable on a plug at home it takes twice as long to charge. Plus the fact the USB had unplugged a few hours before and I hadn't noticed 😬 was just a build up of small errors. Lesson learned 😉 thanks for watching 🤙

Those GPS devices do use a lot of juice. I use calimoto for the road stuff, as you can download uk maps & use without a phone signal, but I get that's not any good for finding your trails🤔we learn from the mistakes that we all make buddy🙃

That's it mate, when the going is good it's great fun, when the going gets a bit tricky and shit starts to go South, it can get a bit scary. Suppose you have to get comfortable being uncomfortable though too. Thanks mate 🤙

Hey mate 👋 I don't really download them, I either just use my own knowledge of the trails, create my own or a few are ahred between friends. Between 6 or 7 of us in a grouo we have most of the north of England and Wales pretty well covered with a wealth of knowledge.

Hi mate, try it again, my mistake I forgot to publish the route in my outdooractive account. 🤙

Thanks pal, really appreciate it, ill have another go

@@lewsdirtbikedays Hi Mate, still don't work 🙄, all your others do just not this one, sods law I suppose as its the one id like to do. hope all worked out for you with the flat battery, great vids, keep up the I've nearly watched them all, love the engine note of the T7 !! and like how you ride, just send it 💪💪 🔥

@@lukeprentice5617 "jus gonna sennnnnd iiiiittttt" ✊✊✊✊ 😆 thanks mate, glad you're enjoying them! My bad with the link, I thought your comment was on my latest video, it was that route link I changed 🤦🏼‍♂️ I've just checked this one, and I didn't publish this one either 🙋🏼‍♂️ haha just sorted it now and changed the link... Try it again, please, I won't let you down dude 👊🏻

@@lewsdirtbikedays got it pal thanks, much appreciated, ill let you now how I get on, top man cheers................keep them vids coming love em !!!

They really are. The colours are beautiful. These types of Wales are very typical of mid Wales/Shropshire area. Great fun.

🤣 Be awesome if someone propped us up with some funding, could help pay for all the repairs hahaha. Would be cool to get some recognition I guess, but that likely won't happen. Not without having a large social media presence it won't anyway, and as I'm off all other platforms I certainly don't have a chance 😂 I don't make these videos for clout though, thankfully, it's just a bit of fun and interaction on the side of what I enjoy doing... It's nice to share my passion for it and talk to others like yourself with the same 💪 If I know I'll be off the bike for a few weeks I'll pull the battery and put it on a trickle charger mate yes, mainly in the winter, not so much the summer. But this was 100% my fault and cannot blame the bike at all, the things bloody well bulletproof 😂 thanks mate 🙏

@@lewsdirtbikedays No, THANKYOU mate, you're a legend on that bike, not aware of anyone else in the UK that rides a World Raid as hard as you👏👏👏keep doing what you're doing👌

😂 There is that aswell. It gets tedious very quickly!

100% unlucky losing that valve mate, I'd like to have been a fly on the wall when you realised it was gone 😬😆 bet the language was colourful haha. Just take it one situation at a time don't we. Onto the next one 🙌

@@lewsdirtbikedays it was more stunned silence and a moment of realisation followed by denial and looking in every nuck and cranny in the under seat area 🤣

😂 I do the washing up anyway. We're a team, mate, no favours owed here 😉 Derek, above, just mentioned the LSK dongle thing for the ABS too. As I said to him, it's a good chunk of cash for such a small Detail. Stalling the bike doesn't reset the ABS mate. This situation was all my fault to be fair, can't blame the bike.

Thanks alot, dude! When youre over, you'll have to give us a shout, I think I've said this to you before, I'll give you the grand tour 😊 I've dropp this so many times at awkward road junctions 😆 makes you feel a right tit, but you gotta throw your hands up and laugh it off. Any other type of bike wouldn't sat at the side of the road crying into his hands 😂 we're a different breed 💪 The towers are £50 per side mate, this is the same tower I snapped off the other week in Dolgellau mate, I thought I'd try a heat staple gun, £35 off amazon, and pieced it back together, turns out, I've made it stronger than standard 😂 when I dropped it on the cobbled trail I well thought I'd snapped it again, but it's not budged 🙏 I poured clear acrylic over the cracked screen to seal it up for now, until I can sort a repair or replacement. Thanks, dude.

That's it mate, I let my ADHD creep in a little too soon there 😆 second I was off the bike I'd forgotten the ignition was on, was focusing too much on the pretty colours of the forest 😂

😂 Yeah, there is that! It's the small things, hey haha. Plus I had a bag of percy pigs to keep me occupied 😊

Beautiful isn't it... In the right weather 😆 can get pretty horrendous up there.
